I love being the only girl lifting weights with the boys. Nothing makes me feel better than picking up a weight that's the same weight (or more) as the guy next to me. They look at me like I'm an alien! lol Most of the time when you see a girl in the gym they are there spotting their boyfriend on the bench press. Not me! When I hit the guy, I mean businesses.
With that being said. I wish more woman took going to the gym serious. There have been more times than I can count, where I see a woman come into the free weight room, pick up a weight, do a few reps and leave. There could be a lot of reasons for this, but I'm sure the main one is intimidation. It's hard to sit next to a guy that's 250 pounds and lift weights if your not confident in your skills.
My advice, look up different free weight exercises and practice them in the mirror. You might feel a little silly at first, but it can give you the confidence you need to lift with the best of them.
